NOTICE

Never recharge the battery while the engine is running. Also, be sure all accessories are turned off.

Battery recharging precautions During recharging, the battery is pro- ducing hydrogen gas. Therefore, before recharging: 1. Maintenance type batteries—Remove the vent plugs. 2. If recharging with the battery installed on the vehicle, be sure to disconnect the ground cable. 3. Be sure the power switch on the re- charger is off when connecting the char- ger cables to the battery and when dis- connecting them.

CAUTION

(cid:1) Always charge the battery in an unconfined area. Do not charge the battery in a garage or closed room where there is not sufficient ventilation.

(cid:1) Non-maintenance batteries: Only do a slow charge (5A or less). Charging at a quicker rate is dan- gerous. The battery may explode, causing personal injuries. Maintenance type batteries: Be sure to remove the vent plugs be- fore recharging.

ADDING DISTILLED WATER (MAINTE- NANCE TYPE BATTERY ONLY) 1. Remove the vent plugs. 2. Add distilled water to cells needing fluid. If the side of your battery is covered, check the water level by looking down di- rectly above the cell as illustrated above. 3. Retighten the vent plugs securely.

NOTICE

Do not overfill the cells. Excess electrolyte could squirt out of the battery during heavy charging, causing corrosion or damage.

Checking and replacing fuses

If you are not sure whether the fuse has blown, try replacing the suspected fuse with one that you know is good. If the fuse has blown, push a new fuse into the clip. Only install a fuse with the amperage rat- ing designated on the fuse box lid. If you do not have a spare fuse, in an emergency you can pull out the “CIG & RAD”, “DOME” or “HTR” fuse, which may be dispensable for normal driving, and use it if its amperage rating is the same. If you cannot use one of the same amper- age, use one that is lower, but as close as possible to the rating. If the amperage is lower than that specified, the fuse might blow out again but this does not indicate anything wrong. Be sure to get the correct fuse as soon as possible and return the substitute to its original clip. It is a good idea to purchase a set of spare fuses and keep them in your vehicle for emergencies. If the new fuse immediately blows out, there is a problem with the electrical sys- tem. Have your Toyota dealer correct it as soon as possible.

175

If the headlights or other electrical components do not work, check the fuses. If any of the fuses are blown, they must be replaced. See “Fuse locations” in Chapter 7-1 for locations of the fuses. Turn the ignition switch and inopera- tive component off. Pull a suspected fuse straight out and check it. Determine which fuse may be causing the problem. The lid of the fuse box shows the name of the circuit for each fuse. See Part 8 of this manual for the functions con- trolled by each circuit. Type A fuses can be pulled out by using the pull-out tool. The location of the pull- out tool is shown in the illustration.

CAUTION

Never use a fuse with a higher am- perage rating, or any other object, in place of a fuse. This may cause extensive damage and possibly a fire.

Adding washer fluid If any washer does not work, the wash- er tank may be empty. Add washer fluid. You may use plain water as washer fluid. However, in cold areas where tempera- tures range below freezing point, use washer fluid containing antifreeze. This product is available at your Toyota dealer and most auto parts stores. Follow the manufacturer’s directions for how much to mix with water.

NOTICE

Do not use engine antifreeze or any other substitute because it may damage your vehicle’s paint.

Checking headlight aims

The headlights have the beam angle gauges to check: 1 Vertical movement 2 Horizontal movement To obtain correct gauge readings, do these before you check the headlight aims. (cid:1) Make sure the body around the head-

light is not deformed.

(cid:1) Park the vehicle on a level spot. (cid:1) Fill up the fuel tank. (cid:1) Bounce the vehicle several times. A passenger should sit on the driver’s seat while checking the headlight aims.

176

Replacing light bulbs— The following illustrations show how to gain access to the bulbs. When replacing a bulb, make sure the ignition switch and light switch are off. Use bulbs with the wattage ratings given in the table.

CAUTION

Halogen bulbs have pressurized gas inside and require special han- dling. They can burst or shatter if scratched or dropped. Hold a bulb only by its plastic or metal case. Do not touch the glass part of a bulb with bare hands.

NOTICE

Only use a bulb of the listed type.

Vertical movement gauges: The bubble on the gauge should be within two marks from center on both sides.

Horizontal movement gauges: The triangle mark on the gauge should be within one mark from the “O” position. If a gauge reading is not within the accept- able range, have the aiming adjusted by your Toyota dealer.

(NHTSA)

immediately

Reporting safety defects for U.S. owners If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you should the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in addition to notifying Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., (Toll-free: 1-800-331-4331). similar If NHTSA it may open a complaints, investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between you, your dealer, or Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc.

receives

Inc.

To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-800-424-9393 (or 366-0123 in Washington D.C. area) or write to: NHTSA. U.S. Department of Transportation. Washington D.C. 20590. You can also obtain other information about motor vehicle safety from the Hotline.

Warning: The temperature grades for this tire are established for a tire that is proper- ly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinflation, or excessive load- ing, wither separately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.

Uniform tire quality grading This information has been prepared in ac- cordance with regulations issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Adminis- tration of the U.S. Department of Trans- portation. It provides the purchasers and/ or prospective purchasers of Toyota vehicles with information on uniform tire quality grading. Your Toyota dealer will help answer any questions you may have as you read this information. DOT quality grades—All passenger vehicle tires must conform to Federal Safety Requirements in addition to these grades. These quality grades are molded on the sidewall. Treadwear—The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under con- trolled conditions on a specified govern- ment test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and a half (1-1/2) times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use, however, and may depart significantly from the norm due to variations in driving habits, service practices and differences in road characteristics and climate.

Traction A, B, C—The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are A, B, and C, and they represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled conditions on specified govern- ment test surfaces of asphalt and con- crete. A tire marked C may have poor trac- tion performance. Warning: The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on braking (straight ahead) traction tests and does not include cornering (turning) traction. Temperature A, B, C—The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, rep- resenting the tire’s resistance to the gen- eration of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled condi- tions on a specific indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degener- ate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire fail- ure. The grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Ve- hicle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of perfor- mance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.
